Commissioner Visits Evacuees from Akrotiri, Discusses Potential Evacuation Extension

Presidential Commissioner Marios Hartsiotis visited hotels in Limassol where residents of Akrotiri are temporarily housed after being evacuated for safety reasons. The purpose of the visit was to learn about their living conditions and hear their concerns. 47 people are staying at the Harmony Hotel, 31 at the Captain Odysseus Hotel, and 62 at the Moniatis Hotel. Mr. Hartsiotis thanked the residents for their understanding and emphasized that the government prioritizes the safety of citizens. A daily risk assessment is being conducted, and the government is considering extending the evacuation until Monday, in coordination with the return of the British to the Akrotiri base.
